ssl and ssh

[carl_townshend]

Hi all, can anyone tell me, does ssh use ssl to encrypt the traffic or are they 2 sperate things ?

[cisco24x7]

two different application protocol. ssh uses

port 22 while ssl uses port 443. They both

accomplish the same thing even though ssh

is capable of supporting AES-256 encryption.

Not sure if SSL is capable of doing that.

[carl_townshend]

is ssh like a secure telnet ?

[cisco24x7]

yes and much much more. You can tunnel

other protocol/applications inside the SSH

tunnel. telnet can not do that.
